Tips for Making Butterfinger Puppy Chow
Keep the heat low. White chocolate can burn easily. Stir the mixture constantly while melting and remove it from the heat as soon as everything is smooth. Use plenty of room. A large bowl or container makes it much easier to coat the cereal without crushing it. Don't over-process the candy. A few pulses in a food processor or blender will give you a nice mixture of Butterfinger crumbs and small pieces. Spread it out to cool. Using two baking sheets helps the puppy chow cool faster and keeps the pieces from sticking together. Wait before adding extra ingredients. If you're adding chocolate chips, candies, or sprinkles, let the puppy chow cool first so they don't melt into the coating.Nutrition
